Ion Exchange Technology Exceeds Tough Requirements for Wastewater Discharge 

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CA and BUFFALO, WY -- January 24, 2007 -- RG Global Lifestyles, Inc. (OTCBB: RGBL) has signed a multi-year contract with a major independent oil and gas operator in Wyoming, for RG Global to construct and operate a water treatment plant employing RG Global’s proprietary ion exchange technology (Catalyx Technology) that will remove sodium, barium, iron and other inorganic contaminants from the wastewater associated with coal bed methane (CBM) production.  The first facility will be designed to treat 20,000 barrels per day of wastewater from CBM operations at the Powder River Basin in Wyoming.  RG Global expects to begin construction within 90 days and be operational in the second quarter of 2007.

RG Global anticipates that its new partner will need to treat more than 100,000 barrels of wastewater per day for CBM harvesting sites in Wyoming.  This will be the first of several plants to be constructed over the next 36 months.”

RG Global Chairman and CEO Mr. Louis Knickerbocker said, “We are very pleased that we have been selected to construct and operate our first multi-million dollar facility in Wyoming for the treatment of the wastewater that is produced from the harvesting of natural gas.  Our technology allows operators to cost effectively harvest the natural gas, while protecting the environment and advancing energy independence for our country in the future.”

CBM production produces copious amounts of ground water, which contains unacceptable levels of contaminants and minerals. RGBL’s Catalyx Technology removes the sodium and contaminants that pose an environmental threat, making more than 99% of the water fit for discharge or irrigation. Other technologies produce up to 15% byproduct waste stream. Disposal of this waste is costly. The Catalyx Technology minimizes waste, which translates to major cost savings for the gas producer/operator.

Existing technologies have been unable to sufficiently treat water to meet Montana and Wyoming’s stringent sodium absorption ratio (SAR) discharge standards, resulting in the shut down of hundreds of well and drilling operations in these and other areas. In many cases, this filtration technology and cost reduction could mean the difference between operating and shutting down a site. 

“Our technology exceeds the most stringent state and federal requirement for discharge of CBM wastewater and is more cost effective than the competition,” RG Global chief technology officer Mr. Jangbarwala explained.  “This major advancement in wastewater treatment has the potential to enable as many as 8000 CBM operations to reopen or com
